The Mission

□ mission_brief.txt─ ▢ ×

> cat ./mission_brief.txt

The flags are hidden. The challenge awaits. SUNCTF 2026 is the Sunway Cybersecurity Club's flagship annual capture-the-flag, back for its third edition and bigger than ever.

It's a jeopardy-style CTF: a board of challenges across web, crypto, reverse engineering, pwn, forensics, OSINT and misc. Every solve captures a flag, every flag scores points, and the sharpest mix of skill, strategy and teamwork climbs the board.

The roster is locked and the board is built. Doors open 08:00 on Sunday, and the cold hard facts live next door in event.cfg.
